Redleaf’s POV

I had watched them walk into the forest, and I may have watched them walk to their death. If they have, I will never forgive myself. Suddenly I remembered something crucial to their success, Sweetpaw.

I had forgotten that they appear to be asleep to the clans. All of the cats will start to bother them, and try to wake them up. If they do wake them up, then they’ll never be able to finish their journey!

I waited until it was night, then I would talk to Sweetpaw in her dreams. I would be giving her a huge responsibility, one that could save or destroy the clans, but I know she’ll be able to do it.

I spent my time pacing and hoping nobody wakes them. I then decided to go over to the Seeing Pool and watch. Whenever somebody got close to the three I would send a distraction, a mouse in camp, a mentor calling them for training, and more. I was glad they were already put in the medicine cat den.

Finally, it was night. I walked into Sweetpaw’s dreams, “Sweetpaw, Sweetpaw, it’s urgent wake up!”

“What is it? Redleaf?” “You must make sure nobody wakes up Blossompaw, Sootpaw, and Bramblepath!” “Why?” “They are on a special Star Clan mission at the moment.” Redleaf explained. “Can I see them in Star Clan?” Sweetpaw asked. Redleaf shook her head. “No, they are in the Dark Forest.”

“They what? Why isn’t somebody from Star Clan there instead?” “It has to be her, it’s the only way her destiny will come.” “Oh.” “What are they doing there?” Sweetpaw asked. “Have you noticed good cats doing bad things?” “Oh, like Speckledheart yelling at me during training?” “Exactly. The Dark Forest are controlling them with a stone they created, once broken it cannot be recreated. Blossompaw, Sootpaw, and Bramblepath are going to destroy that stone.”

“I understand. I’ll keep my clan mates from waking them, but how much should I tell them?” “As much as you feel necessary.”

Sweetpaw’s POV

Sweetpaw opened her eyes and found herself in the medicine cat den. It was morning and warm sunshine blazed down on her. She glanced at the peaceful sleeping three behind her. The only sign ofan adventure was beads of sweat dripping from their foreheads.

“Birchstar, may I make an announcement to the clan?” “Of course Sweetpaw, is about the three?” Sweetpaw nodded. “Then I shall start the meeting. Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey come to me here beneath the tallstump to have a meeting.” All of the cats gathered beneath the tallstump.

“Sweetpaw has an important announcement to make.” Birchstar nodded her head at Sweetpaw bowed. “Thank you Birchstar. My announcement is about the sleeping three.” The cats waited for her to continue. “Do not wake them.” Several gasps could be heard from the crowd. “They are on a special Star Clan mission. Redleaf had told me in a dream.”

“Good ol Redleaf. She was a great cat, always helping other, but she died from helping to defend the nursery from a badger.” Blackpelt sighed. Sweetpaw stared, it was unusual for the grumpy elder to speak highly of anyone, Redleaf must of been a really great cat.
